I don't think that's quite the point they're making. They're saying that small binary size doesn't always translate to user value. Technical excellence can be viewed as a goal in its own right, but it's not the same thing as user value. |

Software designed to spec and user requirements does (where those requirements could be fast development time, high performance for whatever the performance criteria are, longevity, easy and cheap extensibility, etc.).
Binary size, as I was saying before, is like 100 on the list of priorities for most categories of software. Mobile apps sometimes have it as a priority and embedded apps frequently have it, too. But for mobile apps those limits are loosening, so soon they'll stop caring, too, and embedded apps are a minuscule percentage of all apps developed out there (most of them are web apps, especially Line of Business - LOB - apps).
